Invest in experiences, not things

Future boat projects

November 20, 2011by Nate Mobile |

Cleaning the bilge won't be fun, but I've got to do it.

Since we’re buying a new boat we have a list of stuff that would be nice to make our boat ready to cruise on. Most of these projects come from the boat survey, but others are just to make life aboard better. Criticality is a code with 1 being fix for insurance purposes and safety of life at sea, 2 make life aboard nicer soon before it breaks and causes major problems all the way down to 5, stuff that would be nice but doesn’t have to be done soon.

Are there any projects I’m missing? Let us know by submitting a comment.

Hi! We’re Nate, Natalie and Sully and here’s our plan:

Our mantra is "Invest in experiences, not things." Our goal is to travel and experience everything life has to offer before we get too old. To meet that goal, we bought a boat and lived aboard while outfitting her for coastal cruising. We 'cut the dock lines' in November 2014 and now we are heading south along the coast from San Diego to Mexico! This blog is to help us remember our trip and so our friends and family can follow along on our journey.
